Hi All;

    John Donivan brings up a point about the spring problem that I
    hadn't thought of. Perhaps, decades ago, before I became so
    indoctrinated to the kind of thinking that is more typical of the old
    hardcore tradesman, I would have approached it this way. 

    Find a spring, or several springs, and design the money clip
    yourself so that it can utilize that particular spring! Build the
    clip for the spring, not the other way around. I'll bet Charles
    Lewton-Brain can still approach things that way, that was always his
    style, if I may be so familiar. And while your at it, if you can get
    one spring, get some extra ones, just in case you want to make
    another one.
